AceShowbiz - The recent "The Bachelorette" promo suggesting that one of its contestants, Clint, is falling in love with another contestant, JJ, might be made up just to boost the show. Multiple sources report that the two guys, who are vying for Kaitlyn Bristowe's attention on the show, are not gay.
TMZ claims that both guys are "straight as arrows" and while they're close to each other on the show, "nothing gay ever happened." They reportedly "just think it's funny," and even provided ABC with the soundbites to use.
Words are, the two guys are enjoying the attention they've got since the so-called "Brokeback Bachelor" promo aired. Clint even posted on Twitter, "If you have to be a #BROKEBACKBACHELOR, Be Heath Ledger. Always be #HeathLedger. #thebachelorette @jjhlane21," referring to the movie "Brokeback Mountain".
The promo in question featured Clint saying, "Falling in love with a man never crossed my mind." He went on confessing that he and JJ had "grown very close to each other in the shower," adding, "I love JJ."
